In May, a melting glacier in the Swiss Alps collapsed on the village of Blatten, home to 300 villagers. As villagers, government officials, and others debate where to rebuild Blatten, one thing they all agree on is that they won’t leave the mountains.

The Alps Are Melting, but the Villagers Will Not Be Moved
Switzerland is racing to rebuild Blatten, which was crushed by a glacier. It’s a sign of the economic and emotional costs of a warming Europe.

A new report finds that only 3% of international aid is going to support communities and workers transitioning into a green economy. The lack of funding “risks deepening inequality rather than addressing it,” warn the authors.

By @dharna.bsky.social for The Guardian:
Only 3% of international climate aid going to transitioning communities: ‘This is absurd’
New report on funding to slash carbon emissions finds startlingly low engagement with the people affected
